I was really hoping you were correct Parrot. A good heavy downpour for a couple of days would have done wonders for the local environment including my place.
Garden would be refreshed, roof would have been washed clean of all the airborne ash and dust, allowing me to turn the valve to fill my half empty 10,000 ltr underground tank.
In the general UT region it would push most of the air pollution to planet earth. The 2.5 particulate would be gone.
Alas nothing, but there was a feeling in the air early this morning of a pending weather change.
